I prefer Kate's hat, but Megan's outfit when taken as a whole.

Meghan and Kate at the Commonwealth service

Actually, to be honest - I don't like Kate's outfit at all. She looks swamped, she's so slight, and those shoes and that bag categorically do not go - the bag looks to be clashing with the red, imo. The styling is all a bit fusty and fussy. She's a young, pretty woman, and could wear something lovely that is just as appropriate but is less matronly.

I don't know, I know she likes Catherine Walker but it all feels so dated and mother of the bride-esque to me!

megletthesecond · 11/03/2019 15:19

That's a lot of buttons she's got going on there.

Rhubarbisevil · 11/03/2019 15:24

I like them! The Arctic diver is a bit easy on the eye!

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/03/2019 15:25

Too many large buttons on Kate's coat and I'm not a fan of that shade of red.

I prefer Meghan's outfit but not the hat as it's a bit 1950s matron. Love the green accessories though, and the way Harry is looking at her.

Yes I’m not a fan of Kate’s coat and the many buttons. Also don’t think the greyish nude shade of her back and shoes goes with red.

I like Meghan’s coat, she pulls of all white well. Don’t like the print of the dress at all. Seems an odd choice although I know there’s a lot of chain print about at the moment! Unsure about the hat?

Spudlet · 11/03/2019 15:29

I was thinking air hostess in the sixties myself.

Yes, Kate's coat is a bit 'Hello, I am the Duchess of Cambridge, and have you seen my buttons? I have all of them, you know. ALLLLLL of them.'

itswinetime · 11/03/2019 15:29

I like Megan's green coat and dress combo from earlier. I don't like the hat for the service but the coat and dress are nice.

I don't like Kate's outfit I think it is to old and the grey accessory's are an odd choice not a fan of Kate's style at the moment

Spudlet · 11/03/2019 15:30

No wait - it's a nurse's hat! That's what it reminds me of!

Rhubarbisevil · 11/03/2019 15:33

Going off topic, I’m disappointed that William is smirking at the didgeridoo player.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 11/03/2019 15:36

Loved the green coat earlier, but Meghan’s white hat is very Hospitalesque.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 11/03/2019 15:39

Theresa May was there too.
She still likes fashion despite Brexit. I like her gold cuff and gloves.
Not sure about the kimono jacket and comedy hat. She looks like she’s at a posh hairdresser

I like Kate's outfit today, not my favourite of hers but I do like it.

Meghan's second outfit is lovely again, twice in a day fantastic! However not a fan of her hat choice.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 11/03/2019 15:43

Meghan’s obviously gone for the higher neck version, but I like this version with the V. ( although not quite so plunging).

Am I imagining green shoes? Or is it a reflection?
Def don’t like the nurses hat.. Especially with the severe hair.
She should have worn her cream Phillip treacy Beret

Disfordarkchocolate · 11/03/2019 15:47

I love Teresa May's hat, very stylish (to me at least).

cherrylo86 · 11/03/2019 15:47

HMQ looks great in purple again. Camilla is in purple velvet also looking good.

frugalkitty · 11/03/2019 15:55

Meghan's hat looks like the nurses hats from the 80s (my mums friend trained as a nurse and each year gave me her old one to dress up with). I like the cream coat but not the dress. The green I'm not sure of, nice colour and cut but I don't think it needs the black embellishments. Kate's outfit I don't like, it's ok but the buttons are a bit OTT.

The Queen in violet though.....fabulous!

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/03/2019 16:02

Is he @Rhubarbisevil? That's not on. I didn't like the smirking at the bishop at H&M's wedding either, though I don't think it was William that time.

I love red as a colour on the DoC but not a fan of this coat at all. I remember when she wore it on arrival to New Zealand with pillbox hat and she looked like an air hostess. Loved M's green outfit this morning, not such a fan of this afternoon's hat... I agree with a PP - the beret would have been better.

Janecon · 11/03/2019 16:25

I loved Meghan's outfit this morning; she looked lovely. I'm not so keen on Kate's outfit this afternoon. I'm not sure why - too many buttons maybe? And it looks a bit big.

Meghan's outfit is also lovely this afternoon although I'm not so keen on the hat. And I think it's totally unnecessary that she has changed outfits. This morning's outfit was perfect for a church service and I think the Royals sometimes need to be a little more aware of how their spending is perceived.

certainlymerry · 11/03/2019 16:28

I don't like Meghan's hat or Kate's whole outfit, sadly. Really like the rest of Meghan's outfit, particularly the shoes!
Camilla looks great as usual, as does HM.
Kate's coat is far too severe and she doesn't suit the colour. Don't like her hat. Why is she veering towards such severe clothing these days I wonder? It does nothing for her.

queenofarles · 11/03/2019 17:07

Thumbs down for both Kate and Meghan ,
Kate’s coat is it a rewear ? But with different button? If it’s new ... why? Confused

Meghan doesn’t suit cream,
